Important Submission Elements

6. Themes: All abstracts must be submitted under one of the themes listed above. The organisers reserve the right to move presentations into different themes in order to balance the overall program.
7. Abstract Title: Type the title of your abstract in the ‘Abstract Title’ field. Abstract titles are limited to 20 words or less.
8. Abstract Text: Upload the body of your abstract in doc. or docx. format. All abstracts should be 300 words or less. Do not include your title or authors in the abstract text — these items will be collected separately. Tables/graphics and references in ACS format can be included but the text of abstract must be no longer than one page.

All presenters must agree to the following conditions when submitting an abstract:

3. As a commitment to attend and support the Conference, the presenters of the accepted abstracts are expected to register and pay either for the full Conference Program or the day of their presentation, before Monday 11 April 2022 (a reminder will be sent to authors). Failure to register by this date may result in submitted abstracts being removed from the program.
4. The preparation and supply of any handouts or other materials used in any presentation will be the responsibility of the presenter(s).
5. All costs to attend the Conference including registration, travel and accommodation are to be met by the presenters.

The Conference Organizing and Scientific Program Committees recognise the time and effort it takes for authors to prepare abstracts, however, we encourage your early submission of your intention to present at IACIS 2022. This will provide the Scientific Program Committee with the ability to determine a preliminary program and promote it to our intended delegates. The Conference Organizing and Scientific Program Committees are looking forward to presenting a technically strong program for the IACIS 2022 and welcomes you, the contributor, to assist in achieving this aim.

Auhtors will be notified by Thursday 17 March 2022  should their abstract be accepted or otherwise.
